lyrics

it's ironic that he met her first at the launderette
he took his dirty whites to give them a bleaching
and though i don't know quite what happened, joey said he never came away clean

he came away with a queen, whom he loved
'til the guillotine took his head from his shoulders
'til it took his heart from the smoldering ashes of trust

her poison still in his blood he prayed every day
that one morning he might wake up without her inside him
one morning he might wake up with a rainbow up over his bed

the doctor says the epileptic seizures will still seize him
and will give him some moments of peace
and will give him a throne, and a robe, and a crown to be king
